A moment later.
MO Ye leads Jiang Yuan and the other two into the basement.
Then, he pushes open a stone wall.
Through the cracks in the stone wall, a multitude of treasures beam brilliant rays of light, with bright glares reflecting in Jiang Yuan’s pupils.
Seeing this, Old Ma exclaims, “Indeed, the Mo’s Ironworks with hundreds of years of history, actually houses so many divine weapons.”
MO Ye also responds proudly.
“These are our family’s inherited treasures accidentally preserved over generations. Each and every one of these weapons can be called a true divine weapon — capable of cutting iron as if it were mud, and severing hair dispatched by breeze. Indeed, compared with the so-called Thousand-Forged Dragon Spring Sword, it’s like fireflies competing with the bright moon…”
Gu MO also nods in agreement.
Upon seeing the room full of divine weapons, a hint of eagerness flashes in his eyes.
In particular, a few ancient swords gleaming coldly have captured his gaze, making it difficult for him to look away.
Meanwhile, a hint of surprise also surfaces in Jiang Yuan’s eyes.
In his line of sight, one ancient sword among the multitude of divine weapons stands out like a crane amidst a flock of chickens, capturing his undivided attention.
The ancient sword is deep blue all over and is embedded deeply into a black stone connected to the ground. Only half of the sword’s body and the hilt are exposed.
In Jiang Yuan’s sight, countless strands of golden mist are swirling around the ancient sword.
At a glance, it’s impossible to discern just how many strands there are.
Could this be… Luck Power?
How could such a massive amount of Luck Power gather on a single ancient sword?
Jiang Yuan is astonished.
Could it be that the original owner of this ancient sword possessed extraordinary innate Qi Luck?
And this sword was constantly at his side?
Otherwise, how to explain the gathering of such an immense amount of Luck Power on a single ancient sword?
Upon thinking about these matters, Jiang Yuan steps into the secret room.
He points at the ancient sword enveloped by the golden mist in his sight and asks Family Head MO, “This sword appears to possess extraordinary momentum! Does it have an uncommon backstory?”
MO Ye looks at Jiang Yuan.
“Young Master Jiang has discerning eyes. The most precious item in this secret room is indeed this ancient sword, called Gan Jiang!”
“Gan Jiang?” Jiang Yuan asks in surprise.
“Indeed, it’s Gan Jiang! According to our family records, this sword was crafted by our MO family’s ancestors.”
Jiang Yuan stares at the sword and says, “Can I choose this sword?”
MO Ye nods, “Yes! Our family records state: whoever can pull out this sword may take it away! But…”
“But what?”
MO Ye thinks for a moment and says, “But this sword is sentient. Unless it recognizes you, no one can pull it out. Young Master Jiang, you probably cannot pull it out.”
Jiang Yuan laughs, “Let me give it a try!”
Upon finishing his sentence, he walks up to the ancient sword.
He places both hands on the sword handle and mentally commands.
[Absorb!]
In an instant, strands of golden mist rapidly flow into his hands. In the blink of an eye, they are completely absorbed.
Jiang Yuan grips the sword tightly and tries to pull it out. However, the ancient sword doesn’t budge an inch.
MO Ye shakes his head and says, “I did say that you won’t be able to pull it out. Over the years, countless people have tried, but up until now, not a single person has managed to pull out this sword.”
Jiang Yuan stays silent and applies force with his arms once more.
Boom!
The earth slightly tremors beneath him, causing everyone to momentarily sway.
MO Ye looks at Jiang Yuan in shock.
This strength… is so powerful!
This young man has concealed his abilities so deeply. No wonder I felt uneasy earlier.
Jiang Yuan slowly releases his grip and shakes his head, “Indeed, I can’t pull it out!”
Gu Mo’s eyes are ablaze as he says, “Young Master, let me try!”
“Okay!”
Jiang Yuan nods slightly and steps aside.
He then opens his Personal Dashboard to have a look.
[Name]: Jiang Yuan
[Realm]: Body Forging Realm Level Seven
[Innate Fate]: Boundless Longevity (Purple), Dragon and Tiger Physique
(Blue), Exceptional Intelligence (Green)
[Qi Yun Power]: 38 strands
[Luck Seed]: None
Thirty-eight strands, so many?
Jiang Yuan’s gaze sharpened, surprised in his heart.
This result, somewhat unexpected.
You should know, previously, only about a dozen strands of Qi Luck Power gathered on Gu Mo’s body.
Yet, the Qi Luck Power gathered on this ancient sword Gan Jiang was as high as thirty-eight strands.
A gap that was almost three times as large.
However, the Qi Luck Power on Gu MO is renewable, accumulating a strand each day.
The Qi Luck Power on this ancient sword, however, most likely isn’t renewable. It can only be considered a one-time harvest.
Just at this moment.
Suddenly, a surprised exclamation from MO Ye reached Jiang Yuan’s ears.
“This is impossible!!”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan quickly turned around to look.
He saw the ancient sword, which he had earlier been unable to move no matter how hard he pulled.
Now, that sword was casually being swung around by Gu MO, and in an instant, the room was filled with flickering cold light and impressive sword prowess.
And MO Ye, his face was full of shock and disbelief.
Jiang Yuan chuckled: “Family Head MO, do the words you said earlier still count?”
MO Ye composed himself: “Of course they count! It’s an ancestral rule, I will naturally abide by it!”
Then he looked at Gu Mo: “From now on, this sword belongs to you. I hope you will take good care of it and not sully its reputation.”
Gu MO nodded: “Naturally, a sword is like my second life, how could I not cherish it!”
Upon hearing Gu Mo’s words, MO Ye felt an instant sense of relief.
Then he said, “Come with me, I’ve prepared a scabbard for you. Do not unsheathe the sword indiscriminately in the future. This sword has a high-ranking origin, and if someone knowledgeable sees it, you might be in danger.”
Gu MO nodded.
Afterward, MO Ye walked to a wall, pressed several bricks, and an immediate hidden compartment popped out.
He took out a scabbard and tossed it to Gu Mo.
“Catch this, the scabbard has the effect of concealing any aura. Once the sword is sheathed, no one will recognize the origin of this sword.”
Jiang Yuan raised his hand: “Thank you for your generous gift, Family Head
He waved his hand: “I’m simply following the ancestral rules! You may go.”
“Then we shall take our leave!”
Jiang Yuan bowed.
Then, with a cheerful mind, he left the Mo’s blacksmith shop.
The gains from this trip were substantial. Not only did he unexpectedly receive thirty-eight strands of Fate Qi.
Gu MO accidentally gained a highly esteemed divine weapon.
Both of these items were priceless, their values could not be measured.
After Jiang Yuan left the secret room.
MO Ye immediately thumped his chest and stomped his feet, his face full of discomfort.
He had just given away the family heirloom that had been in his family for hundreds of years. How could he not be upset?
But ancestral rules could not be broken.
Whoever could unsheathe this sword would be its owner, and no one else could interfere with any reasons or excuses.
This matter had been instilled in his mind since he was young.
Now, even though he was heartbroken, could he violate the ancestral law!
After the three of them returned to Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
Gu MO personally dug a hole and buried the previous broken, rusty sword.
Two days later.
Black Wind Tribe.
“Brothers, who wants to come with me to move the silver!” Lei Zhan shouted.
“Second master, I’m going!”
“I… I’ll go!”
“Second master, take me with you!”
Seeing the enthusiasm of his subordinates, Lei Zhan revealed a happy smile on his face.
“Second Brother, don’t show off like last time when you enter Lin’an County.”
“What’s there to fear, with big brother here, would the County Honors dare to touch me?”
The bald big man shook his head: “After all, I am only a renounced outer disciple of Lankesh Temple. If it were not for his concern for my brother, with your ostentation last time, you would have been dealt with by now!” “You must know, this place belongs to the Sunset Sect!”
Hearing the name Sunset Sect, Lei Zhan immediately nodded his head.
“Alright then! I’ll just take a few good men to go and carry the silver back, there will be no hitches!” “Hmm, go ahead!”
The bald big man said.
Afterwards, Lei Zhan beckoned a few people: “You three come with me to Zhenyuan Escort Agency to carry the silver, we’ll distribute silver to everyone when we get back.”
“Yes, Second master!”
The trio joyfully responded.
Only by following a strong leader like second master were they able to get an opportunity to enter the city.
How could they not be excited about such a rare opportunity?
“Wait!” The bald big man suddenly said.
“What is it? Big brother!”
“I’m a little uneasy, I’ll go with you, I’ll cover you from outside the city!”
“Big brother, there’s no need, what can there be to worry about!” Lei Zhan said carelessly: “There was no problem even when I was so showy last time, this time I’ll make a quick trip, how could anything go wrong.”
“All the big brother has to do here is prepare a good wine for me, let’s have a drinking bout once I return!”
The bald big man shook his head: “Let’s go! I’ll go with you!”
“Well…. alright! I’ll listen to big brother!”
